Many people lack a factual understanding of events in our region because the media report them inadequately. We blog here because our daughter Malki, murdered at the age of 15 in a restaurant massacre in Jerusalem, was a victim of jihadist hatred and barbarism. For jihadism and terrorism to end in Israel, New York, Madrid, London and everywhere else, people first need to understand the scale on which it is happening and why. This ongoing war is killing us.

8-Apr-13: Scenes from the front lines, courtesy of the Tayar Report

The report below is the latest in a series we have published in recent months based on the Tayar Security Report with some editing and annotating by us. Yehudit Tayar produces her invaluable bulletins on the basis of first-responder, police and army reports.

Rock attacks: Ten IDF service personnel and two members of the Israel Police are injured:

An explosive device (IED) was hurled at Border Police personnel stationed near Rachel's Tomb to safeguard its many visitors. The bomb exploded some 50 meters away; by miracle, no one was injured

Arabs attacking civilian vehicles on on the Beer Sheva-Dimona highway are arrested.

Several attacks against military ambulances which in many cases treat injured or ill Arabs

At least five separate rocket attacks on southern Israel are reported in the past week. Landings occured near Nir Oz, a "fell short" in Arab-controlled territory; between Sufa and Holitin the Hevel Shalom region of south-west Israel; near Nir Am; and a 107 mm rocket near Kissufim in the northwestern part of the Negev Desert.

Dozens of Molotov Cocktail (firebomb or IED) attacks occurred including two on Highway 443; four in the direction of the IDF emplacement at at Al Arub some fifteen at the IDF security checkpoint at Policeman's Square, Hevron; one at Beit Merkachat ("Pharmacy") checkpoint, also in Hevron; six in the direction of the pillbox near Anabta; 7 at the IDF force stationed at Hirbat Aliya; five at people traveling on Highway 446 near Deir Qadis; one at the IDF forces stationed near Bet Hagai; one at an Israeli vehicle near Sin'jal.

A traveler on a field trip is attacked by Arabs at Ein Bidan near Elon Moreh

An Arab Israeli is injured in a rock attack at the Husan Bypass near Beitar Ilit

Two motor vehicle accidents occur, as a result of rock-hurling attacks. A civilian loses control of his car near Ma'ale Shomron but fortunately escapes uninjured

Four IDF service personnel are injured when their jeep overturns at Hirbat Aliya, near Efrat

All of this - in just a single week. And almost certainly, none of it made it into your newspapers or your local TV station's evening news.

Postscript: Yehudit Tayar writes - "These reports are translated and publicized by Hatzalah Yehudah and Shomron with the clearance and confirmation of the IDF. Hatzalah Yehudah and Shomron is a voluntary emergency medical organization with over 500 volunteer doctors, paramedics, medics who are on call 24/7 and work along with the IDF, 669 IAF Airborn Rescue, the security officers and personal throughout Yesha and the Jordan Valley, and with MDA. We, the volunteers of Hatzalah Yehudah and Shomron go out to rescue anyone who needs our emergency medical assistance; including civilians, military and Arabs also those within the PA territories. (with IDF presence) To us a life is precious and we go out at risk leaving home and family or stopping on the road to rescue anyone in need."

About us

THIS ONGOING WAR is not part of the activity of the Malki Foundation which was founded by us, Frimet and Arnold Roth of Jerusalem, on September 9, 2001. But it is inspired by the same tragic circumstances. The Malki Foundation (also known by its Hebrew name: Keren Malki) is a memorial to the life of our daughter, Malki. She's in the photo below this paragraph. Malki was murdered at the age of 15 in a massacre in the centre of Jerusalem carried out by Hamas.

Beyond its function as a remembrance of a beautiful life, the foundation provides tangible, concrete, invaluable support daily to several thousand Israeli families from every part of the religious and socio-economic spectrum: Christian, Moslem, Jewish, Druze and others who care at home for a seriously disabled child.

Good for the soul | The Malki Foundation

If you care to make a positive and constructive contribution to the care of Israeli children with special needs - whether they're Christian, Moslem, Jewish, Druze or unconnected to any particular faith community - you can't do better than direct your donation to the work of the Malki Foundation.

It's the charitable organization we, the bloggers who produce This Ongoing War, established in 2001 in memory of our murdered daughter. Her name is Malki.

Keren Malki (in Hebrew, Keren means 'foundation' or 'fund') is efficient, effective, non-sectarian, non-political and unique in the good work it does. Thousands of families from every part of our richly diverse society here in Israel have benefited in concrete and meaningful ways. Donations to Keren Malki are tax-effective in Israel, Canada, UK and the United States.
